Dave White was supportd by ex Aussie player Alexander - but there is also a rumour that White is not in good health and that si also to be taken into account.   

What should be borne in mind he broke his contract wit the Brumbies because his aspiration as coach of Australia was not realized.    That may get considered as a result, 

On the other hand White's actual mployers are Motsepe and Rupert and in view of the lousy Bulls performances in 2023 they may welcome his departure,  

Jones likes Cape Town a lot and he may now move there.

Currently Eluckmus is 4 won/4 lost against Australia. Oz coached by Jake would be a much tougher proposition. Not appointing him coach when they appointed the raving fat man was a huge mistake,

The Wallabies made a mistake of not employing Jake White following his highly succesful 2-years stint  at the Brumbies. 

Jake White is all about forward play, physicality and defence. Australia usually have good backs, so if their forward pack improved -they could do well.

Moz last I checked our Bok B side thumped Oz earlier this year Rassie is far far too wise for Jake Rassie’s Boks would give Jake’s Aussies a smack But I see the rumour is more about an ex Aussie saying they should target Jake so chances are there is nothing much in it

Joe Schmidt is the likeliest to take over coaching Australia.

Well, you’ll have to be disappointed for the time being then.

d raad

Thy better maintain that when playing games awayfrohome - a repeat of 2023 disasters will not be tolratd by Rupert  and Motsepe.  If there is anher bottoming out of eprformances they will certainly fire White.
